SOME REAL ODD BALLS!

Recently we heard about a family which had not missed Church in 23 years! What in the world is wrong with this family? Don't they ever have company? Don't they ever have headaches or family reunions? Don't they have a favorite TV program? NO, MY FRIEND, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG -- THEY JUST LOVE JESUS!!!

THIS CHURCH CUSTODIAN IS A GENUINE EXPERT ON CHILD PSYCHOLOGY!!

Our Church custodian is a real GENIUS with children!

It seems that five-year-old Butch O'Hara was on a hobby horse in our Church toddlers section, and when the time came to go home, he wouldn't get off.

His mother pleaded. The attendant pleaded. The Pastor came and applied what he called "child psychology." NO RESULTS.

That's when the custodian happened by. He walked over to Butch and whispered something in his ear. Butch got down off that horse instantly, took his mom's hand, and started homeward.

"Whatever did you say to him?" the Pastor asked.

Replied the custodian, "I just leaned close to his ear and said, 'If you don't get off this horse in five seconds, I'm going to slap you off.' " -- from "The Message"

The value of a life is not measured by what has been accumulated, but rather by how much has been given.

THE PREACHER ALWAYS HAS A GOOD TIME

The preacher has a good time. If his hair is gray, he's too old. If he is a young man, he hasn't had enough experience.

If he has ten children, he has too many. If he has none, he isn't setting a good example.

If his wife sings in the choir, she is presuming. If she doesn't, she isn't interested in her husband's work.

If the preacher uses notes, he is a bore. If he speaks extemporaneously, he isn' t deep enough.

If he stays at home in his study, he doesn't mix enough with the people. If he calls on some poor family, he is playing to the grandstand. If he calls at the home of the wealthy, he is an aristocrat.

Whatever he does, someone could have told him how to do it better.
